Whatever Happened to Baby Jane Austen? Series 2
Episode 1 of 4

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders star as respected novelist Florence and movie star Selina, in a sparkling comedy series about two sisters at war, by Veep writer David Quantick.

Lucy, convinced that her mother is Selina, can’t take any more: she’s going to be an astronaut. Meanwhile, Selina’s off to the Palace to collect her OBE, with a jealous Florence in tow. And Mrs Ragnarrok has applied for Danish citizenship.

The first series of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane Austen? won the Writers’ Guild Award for Best Radio Comedy and the Comedy.co.uk award for Best Radio Sitcom.
